(10 points)The Peace CorpsThe Peace Corps is an independent federal agency of the United States designed to promote mutual understanding between Americans and the outside world. The Peace Corps was established by executive order in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy and approved by Congress as a permanent agency within the State Department later that year. The program came about during the Cold War and was designed to oppose the Soviet challenge to Western influence in the widely open Third World area of superpower competition. More than 180,000 Americans have served in the Peace Corps since its beginning.Purpose & functionThe program officially has three goals. The first is to help the people of interested countries and areas in meeting their needs for trained workers. The second is to help promote a better understanding of Americans on the part of the peoples served. And the third is to help promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of Americans.The Peace Corps works by first announcing its availability to foreign governments. These governments then determine areas in which the organization can be involved. The organization then matches the requested assignments to its pool of applicants and sends those volunteers with the appropriate skills to the countries that first made the requests.Background & historySince the end of the Second World War, various members of the United States Congress had proposed bills to establish volunteer organizations in the Third World. In 1952 Senator Brien McMahon proposed an “army”of young Americans to act as “bringers of democracy”. Privately funded non-religious organizations had been sending volunteers overseas since the 1950s.John F. Kennedy first announced his own idea for such an organization during the 1960 presidential campaign at a late-night speech at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on October 14. During a later speech in San Francisco, California on November 1, he named this proposed organization the “Peace Corps”. Critics of the program (including Kennedy’s opponent, and future United States president, Richard M. Nixon)claimed the program would be nothing but a place for young people to hide from military service. Others doubted whether college-aged volunteers had the necessary skills. The idea was popular among most college students, however, and Kennedy continued to pursue it, asking respected academics such as Max Millikan and Chester Bowles to help him outline the organization and its goals. During his opening address as president, Kennedy again promised to create the program.Established & approvedOn March 1, 1961, Kennedy signed an Executive Order which officially started the Peace Corps. Concerned with the growing tide of revolutionary feelings in the Third World, Kennedy saw the Peace Corps as a means of countering the notions of the “Ugly American“, especially in the emerging nations of postcolonial Africa and Asia.On March 4, Kennedy appointed Sargent Shriver to be the program’s first director. Shriver was tasked with fleshing out the organization, which he did with the help of Warren W. Wiggins and others. Shriver and his think tank outlined the three major goals of the Peace Corps and decided the number of volunteers they needed to recruit. The program began recruiting volunteers that following July.Until about 1967, applicants to the Peace Corps had to pass a placement test that tested “general knowledge” (knowledge of various skills needed for various Peace Corps assignments) and language ability. After an address from Kennedy, who was introduced by Rev. Russell Fuller of Memorial Christian Church, Disciples of Christ, on August 28, 1961, the first group of volunteers left for Ghana and Tanzania. The program was formally approved by Congress on September 22, 1961 and within two years over 7,300 Peace Corps volunteers were serving in 44 countries. This number would jump to 15,000 in June of 1966, the largest number in the organization’s history.Early troubles for the Peace CorpsThough the organization was begun with the noblest of intentions, it experienced a big controversy in its very first year of operation. On October 13, 1961, a postcard written by a volunteer named Marjorie Michelmore in Nigeria to her boyfriend in the US caused some problems. In it, she described Nigeria as “ugly and absolutely primitive in living conditions”. This postcard, however, never made it out of the country. A student at the University College at Ibadan found it and made copies to distribute around campus. Nigerian students accused the volunteers of being spies of the US government. Soon the international press picked up the story and this led several people in the US administration to question the future of the program as a whole. Nigerian students protested the program, and the American volunteers hid themselves away and eventuallybegan a hunger strike. After several days, the Nigerian students agreed to open a dialogue with the Americans.Independent statusIn July 1971, President Nixon brought the Peace Corps under the umbrella agency, ACTION. The Peace Corps would remain under ACTION until President Jimmy Carter declared it fully independent in a 1979 executive order. This independent status would be further secured when Congress passed legislation in 1981 to make the organization an independent federal agency.Programs branching outAt this time, the Peace Corps began branching out past its traditional concerns of education- and agriculture-related projects. In 1982, Director Loret Miller Ruppe began several new business-related programs. For the first time, a large number of conservative and Republican volunteers joined the group of overseas volunteers, and the organization continued to reflect the evolving political and social conditions in the United States.Funding cuts during the early 1980s dropped the number of volunteers to 5,380, its lowest level since the organization’s early years. Funding began to increase in 1985, and Congress passed an initiative to raise the number of volunteers to 10,000 by 1992.After the September 11, 2001 attacks alerted the nation to growing anti-US feelings in the Middle East, President George W. Bush pledged to double the size of the organization within five years as a part of the War on Terrorism. For 2004, Congress passed a budget increase at $325 million, $30 million above that of 2003 but $30 million below the President’s request.Now, the Peace Corps is trying to double the number of volunteers it sends abroad by 2007. This is in accordance with Bush’s request in 2002. According to Joseph Kennedy, “The American reputation has taken a hit in the last couple of years. The need for the Peace Corps couldn’t be more urgent than it is right now, at this moment. The Peace Corps shows what is best in America, the generosity of spirit.” The Peace Corps is trying to get more diverse volunteers of different ages. This is important so that the Peace Corps can look “more like America” (in the words of Vasquez, its director). (Words: 1136)31. When first designed, the purpose of the Peace Corps was to __________.A. promote President John F. Kennedy with his executive powerB. promote the Cold War against Soviet challenges and influencesC. improve mutual understanding between the States and the outside worldD. strengthen the US State Department with a permanent agency32.

(20 points)Passage OneQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.Standing alone at the Browns’ party, Anna Mackintosh thought about her husband Edward, establishing him clearly in her mind’s eye. He was a thin man, forty-one years of age, with fair hair that was often untidy. In the seventeen years they’d been married he had changed very little; he was still nervous with other people, and smiled in the same embarrassed way, and his face was still almost boyish.She believed she had failed him because he had wished for children and she had not been able to supply any. She had, over the years, become neurotic (神经机能病的) about this fact and in the end, quite some time ago now, she had consulted a psychiatrist (精神病学家), Dr. Abbat, at Edward’s pleading (恳求).In the Browns’ rich drawing room, its walls and ceiling gleaming (发微光) with a metallic (金属般的) surface of imitation gold, Anna listened to dance music coming from a tape recorder and continued to think about her husband.In a moment he would be at the party, since they had agreed to meet there, although by now it was three-quarters of an hour later than the time he had promised.The Browns were people he knew in a business way, and he had said he thought it wise that he and Anna should attend this gathering of theirs. She had never met them before, which made it more difficult for her, having to wait about, not knowing a soul inthe room.When she thought about it she felt hard done by, for although Edward was kind to her and always had been, it was far from considerate to be as late as this. Because of her nervous condition she felt afraid and had developed a sickness in her stomach. She looked at her watch and sighed.41. Why did Anna feel awkward at the party?A. She came to the party too early.B. She was neglected by the host.C. She felt uncomfortable with the atmosphere of the party.D. She didn’t know anyone there.42. What made Anna feel inadequate?A. She did not make a good mother to her children.B. She was unable to satisfy her husband’s desire to have children.C. She did not get along well with her husband.D. She was unable to have a better understanding of her husband.43. As time went by, Anna started to get angry as ________.A. she found the Browns were much wealthier than they wereB. her husband was lateC. she noticed that no one was willing to talk to herD. her husband was bad-mannered in the party44. According to the passage, Edward wanted Anna to attend the party because________.A. he wanted her to have more of a social lifeB. he tried to distract her from some unpleasant thoughtsC. he needed her supportD. he thought she would impress the Browns45. What kind of woman Anna was according to the passage?A. Sensitive and worried.B. Open and talkative.C. Imaginative and cheerful.D. Sensible and easygoing.Passage TwoQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.The US military has blocked public access to nearly all its web sites after its servers were attacked by a new computer virus.Late last week, the US Space Command, which provides security for military computers, instructed all military organizations to block public access after a number of sites had contracted the virus, called the “Code Red” bug, according to an official.The virus is known as a “denial of service”bug, because it replicates (自我复制) itself by reading the data files on a network server and sending copies to other servers—thereby multiplying and sometimes crashing a system—and denying access to legitimate (合法的) users of the site.“The Code Red worm did in fact show up in some DoD (Department of Defense) web sites and we’re working to contain that,” Command Spokesman Army Maj. Barry Venable said. “Ways we’re going about that include blocking public access to the Web sites, because that’s the way this worm works, to prevent it from using our networks to propagate (繁殖) itself.”The virus exploits a security flaw (缺陷) in certain Microsoft network servers. The flaw was announced last month when a patch was released to fix it.“To protect our DoD web sites from being compromised, DoD organizations have been told to review the status of the Internet information servers… to make sure that all the patches that were previously installed had been installed,” says Venable.Only a handful of the major Defense Department sites, with the suffix “.mil,” appear currently accessible to the public, including the central public affairs site DefenseLink and the military services’main homepages. Public access is blocked to information connected to those sites, and others such as the National Missile Defense site and the US Air Force’s European site. Registered Department of Defense personnel continue to have access to the sites, Venable said.46. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A. The Code Red Worm.B. DoD Blocks Public Web Site Access.C. DoD was Attacked.D. Protect DoD Web Sites Against Viruses.47. The word “contracted”(Para.2)most probably means ________.A. make less or smallerB. get an illnessC. make a legal agreementD. formally agree to marry somebody48. Which of the following statements is NOT true about the Code Red worm?A. It can multiply in large numbers.B. It may make a computer system stop working.C. It’s included in a patch released by Microsoft.D. It may destroy the connection between legitimate users and the sites.49. Public access is blocked to most DoD web sites so that ________.A. the Code Red worm can’t use the web site to replicates itself and send copiesB. DoD organizations can have necessary patches installed to protect their sitesC. the defense secrets can be prevented from being revealedD. the mistake in certain Microsoft network servers can be corrected50. Which of the following is NOT a measure taken by DoD to fight against the CodeRed worm?A. Blocking public access.B. Shutting down e-mail.C. Reviewing the status of the Internet information servers.D. Having necessary patches installed.。

语篇教学法：英语精读教学活动中，语篇教学法是最为普遍的方法，该方法以英语语篇为基本单位，围绕语篇内容进行相关文章体裁、故事情节、中心思想以及词汇、语法等结构分析，引导学生明确全文的语篇结构，从整体上吸收篇章的主要信息。英语教学的最终目的是让学生能熟练运用英语语言来交流思想和获取信息。在教学中，从理解整篇内容入手，运用所学语言解，并通过学习使学生进一步掌握文章中所含内容的深层含义。语篇教学法，不但打破了传统精读教学中注重字、词、短语及句型的局限性，而且还可以为当前高职英语精读教学指明一条光明大道。

Then mark the corresponding letter on theAnswer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something which has not been said before. He hopes the public will listen and understand —he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him. What visual artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist. Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and repose(休息); their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights. Contemporary artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it. Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects. If one painter chooses to paint a gangrenous (生坏疽的) leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world. Each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizing something—all of which mean that,课程答案网课刷课f l y i n g j g hconsciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us.21. All artists are common in that _____.A) they use shapes and colors instead of wordsB) they are trying to teach the publicC) what they want to teach is difficult to explainD) they want to learn from the public22. A painter chooses certain shapes and colors out of the countless billions possible because he believes they _____.A) are beautiful B) can bring delight to himC) are worth showing to the public D) are particular23. Contemporary artists choose subjects _____.A) without reference to the character of their subjectsB) that only provide an interesting patternC) that there is no meaning in itD) partly for the meaning of the subjects24. Comparing the painter who paints a gangrenous leg with the one who paints a lake in moonlight, we can draw the conclusion that _____.A) both convey the same meaning B) both show certain aspects of the worldC) the latter is more meaningful D) the former is more meaningful25. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A) The public could share the artist’s feelings through their choice of shapes and colors.B) The painter should not choose to paint ugly things.C) Contemporary artists are completely different from other artists.D) All artists are teaching the public consciously.Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:I was born in South Korea and lived there all my life until I married and moved to America. While living in America for five years now, I have tried to adapt to the rapid pace of change in my life.Most difficult for me was learning a new language. I discovered that American English combines the influence of many other languages, mostly European but many of them global. On the other hand, the Korean language was heavily influenced by Chinese until about 400 years ago. Learning a new language was hard for me, but an essential part of beginning life in this wondrous (奇妙的) land.Next, I needed to adjust to American food, which is relatively mild, with the课程答案网课刷课f l y i n g j g hexception of Cajun dishes. Generally, Korean food is very spicy, like Kimchi, which covers many types of pickled cabbage and other vegetables; Koreans cannot live without it, and often make their own from old family recipes. Finally, Koreans and Americans treat marriage very differently. Even though we have entered the twenty-first century, many Korean marriages are arranged by matchmakers hired by parents. Or, parents of marriageable children will get together and arrange their marriages. Of course, some marriages come about through dating just as in America—young people meet, fall in love, and decide to marry. Yet, despite or because of arranged marriages, the Korean divorce rate is very low compared with American divorces. This may be due largely to the strong family bonds in Korea.Despite these differences between our cultures, I’ve realized that Koreans and Americans have much in common. We tend to seek freedom, share the same excitement at a new birth, and want to make good friends. Also, we place a high value on hard work,often spending long hours at our own businesses in order to send our children to good colleges; we want to give them opportunities earlier generations could only dream of. If we can learn to accept cultural differences as unique values, the world may be more peaceful.26. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A) America in a Korean’s Eyes B) Learning a New LanguageC) Adapting to the New World D) Different Attitudes towards Marriage27. Learning a new language was hard for the author. Which of the following is not one of the reasons?A) American English is different from British English.B) American English is influenced by many other languages.C) American English is widely different from the Korean language.D) For Korean learners of English, the differences are hard to grasp.28. Koreans cannot live without it , and often make their own from old family recipes (Para. 3). “it” refers to _____.A) Cajun dishes B) Kimchi C) American food D) pickled cabbage29. Which of the following is a typical American way of getting into marriage? A) Parents have matchmakers arrange the marriages.B) Parents get together and arrange the marriages.C) Young people base their marriages largely on the family bonds.D) Young people base their marriages almost entirely on love.30. Koreans are similar to Americans in many ways except that _____.A) they love children B) they share the same traditionsC) they value hard work D) they seek freedom 课程答案网课刷课f l y i n g j g hPassage Three Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:A subject which seems to have been insufficiently studied by doctors and psychologists is the influence of geography and climate on the psychological and physical health of mankind. There seems no doubt that the general character of landscape, the relative length of day and night, and climate must all play a part in determining what kind of people we are.It is true that a few studies have been made. Where all the inhabitants of a particular area enjoy exceptionally good or bad health, scientists have identified contributory factors such as the presence or absence of substances like iodine, fluoride, calcium, or iron in the water supply, or perhaps types of land that provide breeding places for pests like mosquitoes or rats.Moreover, we can all generalize about types of people we have met. Those living in countries with long dark winters are apt to be less talkative and less lively than inhabitants of countries where the climate is more equable (稳定的). And where olives and oranges grow, the inhabitants are cheerful, talkative, and casual.But these commonplace generalizations are inadequate — the influence of climate and geography should be studied in depth. Do all mountain dwellers live to a ripe old age? Does the drinking of wine, rather than beer, result in a sunny and open character? Is the strength and height of a Kenyan tribe due to their habitual drinking of the cow blood?We are not yet sure of the answers to such questions, but let us hope that something beneficial to mankind may eventually result from such studies.31. The author’s purpose of writing this passage is to _____.A) alert readers to the scarcity of natural resourcesB) call for more research on the influence of geographical environmentC) introduce different elements in character cultivationD) draw more attention to the health condition of mankind32. It can be inferred that proper amounts of iodine, fluoride and calcium can _____.A) benefit people’s physical healthB) influence the quality of water supplyC) help provide breeding places for pestsD) strengthen a person’s character33. How does the author evaluate the generalizations of people’s types in Paragraph 3?A) They help us judge the different characters of people we meet.B) They are not inclusive enough to draw a convincing conclusion.C) They prove that nature plays an important role in determining social habits.D) They show that there are mainly two different types of people.课程答案网课刷课f l y i n g j g h34. According to the passage, research into the influence of climate and geography should _____.A) focus on unknown aspects B) be pursued on a larger scaleC) be carried out among remote tribes D) go ahead in depth35. Which of the following generalizations of people’s type is true?A) People who like drinking wine tend to be optimistic.B) People who live in mountain areas tend to have a long life.C) People who live in areas with stable climate tend to be talkative and lively.D) People who like drinking cow blood tend to be strong and tall.Part III Cloze (10 points, 0.5 point each)Directions:There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there arefour choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should choose the one that bestfits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the AnswerSheet with a single line through the centre.For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words.

(42)_____, however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to(43)_____ words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over (44)_____ you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which (45)_____ down the speed of reading is vocalization—sounding each word either orally or mentally as(46)_____ reads.To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an(47)_____, which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate (48)_____ the reader finds comfortable, in order to “stretch” him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, (49)_____ word-by-word reading, regression and sub-vocalization, practically impossible.

Reading comprehension: (35%)Task 1What will man be like in the future — in 5000 or even 50000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time. Let us take an obviousexample. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones. This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger. Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger. On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life. But what about hair? It will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald. Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at. This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future name will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.1. The passage tells us about ______.A. how man's life will be in the futureB. how future man will look likeC. the fact that man's organs will function differently in the futureD. the fact that man is growing uglier as time passes2. There is evidence that ________.A. man has been growing taller over the past 500 yearsB. man has got stronger eyes than he ever hadC. man's hair is getting thinner and thinnerD. man's limbs are getting weaker because he tends to make less use of them3. Man's forehead will grow larger because _______.A. he will use of only about 20% of the brain's capacityB. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due timeC. he had rather narrow forehead a few hundred years agoD. he will have to use his brain more and more as time goes on4. Future man will probably _____.A. have smaller eyesB. have larger eyesC. see betterD. have to wear better glasses5. The reason for believing that future man will be different is that he _______.A. is always changingB. never stops changingC. hopes for a changeD. will live a different lifeTask 2S ports and games make our bodies strong, prevent us from getting too fat, and keep us healthy. But these are not their only use. They give us valuable practice in making eyes, brain and muscles work together. In tennis, our eyes see the ball coming, judge its speed and direction and pass this information on to the brain. The brain then arms, legs, and so on, so that the ball is met and hit back where it ought to go. All this must happen with very great speed, and only those who have had a lot of practice at tennis can carry out this complicated chain of events successfully. For those who work with their brains most of the day, the practice of such skills is especially useful. Sports and games are also very useful for character training. In their lessons at school, boys and girls may learn about such virtues as unselfishness, courage, discipline and love of one's country; but what is learned in books cannot have the same deep effect on a child's character as what is learned by experience. The ordinary day school cannot give much practical training in living, because most of the pupils' time is spent in classes, studying lessons. So it is what the pupils do in their spare time that really prepares them to take their place in society as citizens when they grow up. If each of them learns to work for his team but not for himself on the football field, he will later find it natural to work for the good of his country instead of only for his own benefit.6. When we play tennis we have to _____.A. first use our eyes, then the brain and finally the musclesB. make our eyes, brain and muscles work almost at the same timeC. use mainly the arms and legs to hitD. use mainly the muscles so that the ball is met and hit back7. The "complicated chain of events" refers to _____.A. the passing of information and making of decisionsB. the meeting and hitting back of the ballC. the coordinated movements of our eyes, brain and musclesD. a lot of practice before playing tennis8.

What is of the greatest importance to a football team is _____.A. its membersB. its team workC. the football fieldD. the climateTask 3I run a manufacturing company with about 350 employees, and I often do the interviewing and hiring myself. As I see it, there are four keys to getting hired: Firstly, prepare to win. Getting hired is no longer an once-in-a-lifetime experience. Employment experts believe that today's graduates could face as many as ten job changes during their careers. That may sound like a lot of pressure. But if you are prepared, the pressure is on the other folks, the ones who haven't done their homework. Secondly, never stop learning. Work on your weaknesses and develop your strengths. To be able to compete, you've got to keep learning all your life. And then, believe in yourself even when no one else does. Don't ever let anyone tell you that you can not accomplish your goals. Who says you are not tougher, harder working and more able than your competitors? At last, find a way to make a difference.From my standpoint, that is what it is all about.A.
